During the great struggle that had occurred in this great fable (or novel), many of animals had done a great deed of work. The animals had formed a rebellion (Soon later to be called the Battle of Cowshed) against their heartless and cruel human enemies. With the great knowledge of the pigs and the effort of the rest of the other animals, they had overthrown the humans and replenished the farm into a sufficient stable farm suitable for the animals. They had taken very good care of their farm. Yet out of all the creatures that had now inhabited the farm, only one creature stood out to be the hero (protagonist) of the story. It is Boxer who is the unsung hero of the farm.

Then it would come to the time that he would work too much. He felt that he needed to do all this so that everyone would be satisfied. He would always be the first one out on the field working and the last one off. Boxer had work as hard as anyone did in the farm. Not one animal had the strength and determination that Boxer had possessed. Without his courageousness and might the farm would have been taken over by the evil humans in which the animals feared. Boxer had made an example to all the animals to go and work harder. He was the very idol and model for everyone working in the fields.
As the years went by it was decided that a windmill was needed for electricity. The animals were unsuccessful when the wind knock down the windmill. Despite what had happened, the determined animals had decided to make a new windmill. This windmill was to be annihilated be the humans that had attacked. Boxer had been injured during this battle. Nevertheless he had refused to rest. He would not give up until a new windmill would be built before his retirement. He then went on with his work. Working hard and struggling to get every single boulder shattered; it had finally happened, the inedible had come, he collapse on the floor and he knew what was to happened. Even though he had partially recovered from his injuries he knew that the breath he was taking was one of his own. Two days later he was taken away, and was never seen
Boxer is a fictional horse in George Orwell’s Animal Farm, which is a satire of the Russian Revolution. Many characters allude to different groups or important people from this era, and this applies to Boxer as well. Boxer is a representation of the working class because of his qualities, personality, his role in the novel and his motto. Orwell expresses much criticism towards the character of Boxer because he lets Napoleon think for him.
On Animal Farm all animals are equal and all try to pull their weight, but some animals are more equal than others. And many other animals don’t work and some work more than others. Boxer is a hard working horse who is kind but he is very persuaded with the ideas of Napoleon. The sheep of Animal Farm are stupid and blind in following the pigs and just do what the pigs ask them to do. Napoleon develops a secret police out of nine puppies he stole and those nine puppies were taught in the way of Napoleon, who wants the dogs to be loyal and enforce his ideas. All of these animals are being manipulated by Napoleon and making choices so they can help others or help themselves.
Despite this injury and the fact that animals’ morale had been shattered, Boxer began hard work again and refused to take a day off. Boxer only had one aspiration left which was to see the windmill well into action before it was time for him to retire.
The allegorical novel Animal Farm, was published by George Orwell on August 17, 1754. In the novel the animals represent the Russian Revolution War. The moral of the story is there are animals that live on a farm and Mr. Jones the farmer is the owner. Mr. Jones doesn’t take good care of the animals so this causes the animals to rebel against him. Mr. Jones ends up dying and Napoleon, the boar end up being in charge and doesn’t do a very good job. Boxer, the male horse in the story basically does everything he can to save the farm. In the story Boxer displays that he is loyal, determination, and heroic.
Boxer has a very important allegorical meaning in the book Animal Farm, as he represents the workers and laborers during the Russian Revolution. In the book, Boxer is a very strong horse, who is stronger than everyone else on the farm. Despite having immense strength, he lacks knowledge and often cannot think straight. This can be seen in the quote, “Napoleon is always right”. The idea that Boxer has developed is incorrect, as it states that everything Napoleon says or does, is justified. Due to this, Napoleon is able to kick Snowball out of the farm. Boxer has no idea of how his physical ability is being used and continues to exhibit his kind and hard-working attributes, as can be seen in the quote, “I will work harder”. This quote implies
Animal Farm is a prime example of devotion and the loyalty that is vital for success. Boxer is a selfless hard-working horse that displays genuine loyalty to the rebellion willing to do anything for the better of his newfound family. Boxer adopts a new personal motto of “I will work harder” static from the beginning of the novel to his death (murder). Boxer is unwavering in his devotion. Even when the windmill is destroyed and it is time for Boxer’s long waited retirement he continues to strive forward and push his body to the max showing loyalty to Napoleon time and time again, reflecting his other motto “Napoleon is always right”. The point of view used throughout the novel is third person omniscient. This allows for an overall
Boxer was perhaps the worst victim of this deception. Boxer, a big strong horse, was very excited by the revolution. His motto was ³I will work harder.² He would get up early in the morning to do extra work because he wanted the farm to prosper. Sometimes when things did not always seem right, he would think about it for a while and then blame things that went wrong on the animals having done something wrong. Once, after several animals were slaughtered for committing ³crimes²l he said after thinking for a long time, ³I do not understand it. I would notthave believed that such things could happen on our farm. It must be due to some fault in ourselves. The solution, as I see it, is to work harder. From now onward, I shall get up a full hour earlier in the mornings² (94). Boxer represents the people who do not fight for rights but just accept things as they are. He worked harder than anyone his whole time on the farm.
Napoleon, the leader of all the animals of the Rebellion, can be compared and contrasted with Big Brother, the leader of all the people of 1984. Both Big Brother and Napoleon show the qualities of a cruel ruler. Similar to Big Brother, Napoleon is a secretive plotter who works behind the scenes rather than openly. However, unlike Napoleon, Big Brother periodically appears on the television screen. Napoleon and Big Brother both work continually to weaken their rivals, whether it is by removing Snowball or eliminate Rutherford. Both place importance on complicated ceremonies and parades to prevent their workers from thinking about their schemes. Napoleon’s control over animal farm is not as powerful as Big Brother's
Boxer is a very important animal at the animal farm who takes the weight of the problems and puts them on himself and always claims he will work harder. Boxer, the workhorse on the farm, has always worked hard and pushes himself to be better, and to do more. This made all the animals look up to him, more than their actual leader at times. He takes responsibilities that are not even his and excels. Animal Farm by George Orwell shows the many ways the Boxer is an important virtue to the farm and to his friends.
Eric Blair wrote “The Animal Farm” during 1945, which he writes about a dystopian society with animals. He makes connections to real world problems throughout the story. He refers to animals being human by making connections by forming a government, because it's in human nature to form any type of government. In this case, the animals form a democracy from the commandments they put in their constitution; with all the corruption it mimics a communist government. The corruption deals with the leaders taking advantage of the commandments by overriding them while the other animals have to obey them. The main characters were Napoleon, Snowball, Boxer, and Squealer which can be connected to real world leading figures. The author also put in
In the novel, Animal Farm by George Orwell, many events have happened on the farm as the book surrounds itself on the Russian Revolution. As problems start to arise on the farm due to the idea of equality in Animalism, animals on the farm revolted to get their fair share. Soon they were able to overthrow their human master after a long period of mistreatment. Not long after, the pigs started to lead the animals since they were believed to be more “intelligent” than the rest. However as time goes on, the pigs took advantage of this and became more dominant on the farm, especially with Napoleon, who was one of the pigs. His power on the farm led him into becoming a power-hungry pig, which negatively impacted him. Napoleon’s selfish behavior
As soon as the revolution starts, Boxer is more devoted than ever to the farm. At the Battle of the Cowshed, Boxer is trying to prove his loyalty to the farm by defending the animals against a stable boy with kicking him with his hoof. “I will work harder.”(Orwell 25)The quote reveals his hard work and devotion to other animals and the farm. Though Boxer is very strong, he is also very naïve. The pigs bossed him around, being blindly loyal to Napoleon. “Napoleon is always right”(Orwell 48) When he says this, it demonstrates that he does not understand that the pigs are using him. He believes that everything Napoleon says is just. While others are trying to learn how to read Boxer does not feel the need he only wants to work harder for the good of the animal farm. Unfortunately, at the end of the book, he is so worn down that he cannot work anymore, so the pigs make the decision to send him to be slaughtered. At this point Boxer realizes that pigs have used him and was not loyal to the animals like he was. Boxer represents the Russian working-class in the Soviet
The most interesting character I found was Squealer. My reasons being, he served Napoleon following everything he said. Whist using excuses and lies to justify Napoleon’s treacherous acts. This made him to be like an under-dog whose purpose was to corrupt, exploit and confuse the other animals on the farm.
In the novel Animal Farm, the writer satirizes certain characters, in an effort to depict society in a humorous way. This essay will focus on the characters of Boxer, Mollie and Napoleon.
In George Orwell’s novel Animal Farm, a major turning point in the novel was when Napoleon used his secret police force, his dogs, to exile Snowball. Snowball had previously been trying to improve the animal’s lives for the future by building a windmill. After Snowball was exiled, Napoleon became leader and everything immediately went amiss. Orwell stated that: "Somehow it seemed as though the farm had grown richer without making the animals themselves any richer- except, of course, for the pigs and the dogs" (p.86). In other words, no one was benefiting from the animal’s labours apart from the pigs and the dogs because the amount of authority the dogs and the pigs, especially Napoleon had, was corrupt. Frighteningly, if Snowball had been
